OVER TIE STATE.


G.. w. Smith, the man arrested
for removing q rail from the track
of the L. N. o. s. 7. railroad near
the National cemetary, has been
identified as the author of a simi-
attempt at trainwrecking at q
bridge over Forked Deer river,
on the Illinois Central, which oc-
cured last April. AS was the
case here the obstruction was dis
covered before any harm was done.
Smith had long been a fireman on
the L. N. o. g. 7. but was discharg-
ed last FEBRUARY. He then went
to the l. G. and obtained a berth
there but being again discharged
came back to Vicksburg.
This time the detectives believe
they have evidence enongh to give
him a position on the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad for q few years.

+ Col. John A. Heard, who pro.
poses to establish a land agency
in Raymond, came to this State in
1S4S, and is considered one of the
best judges of real estate in the
whole country. He has been in
business in Louisiana, Texas and
Mississippi, and is thoroughly
posted as to lands from the Gulf
Of Mexico to the Tennessee line.
He is also one of the shrewdest
men out, and will faithfully en-.
deavor to dispose of property left
in his care. In the case Of his
agency he proposes to represent
capitalists in the buying and locat.
ing of lands, and win take an in.
terest in the land bought for his
services. He will also allow 6 per
cent. interest to the parties fur.
nishing the capital to buy land.
Here is fine chance for the
county syndicate which recently
invested in Birmingham and Chat.

When cattle were twenty dollars
round, nearly everybody wanted
cattle. Now when they can be
had for less than half that figure,
hardly anybody wants cattle,
When sheep were three or four
dollars per head, nearly everybody
wanted sheep. When they got
down to a dollar, very few people
wanted them, and those few were
regarded as lunatics. Now that
sheep are going up again, inquiry
for them is on the increase. II
will be the same way with cattle
They are offered much below theil
intrinsic value, and therefore must
60 higher. Everybody admits this
but for some reason which we have
never heard explained, they prefer
to wait till they 60 up a few dollars
before they buy. This is not true
of everybody. Even now, w
know men who are straining theil
credit to the last notch in cattle
and grass for them to eat. The,
will make the money that some
body else lost, and will be callet
lucky. In this world luck ant
sense are so very intimately blend
cd that II is hard to draw between
them the line of denarkation.-

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO,
Why Bennett Does Not Want Gould to
Control the Telegraph Company.

A New York despatch says: 1t is mat
teTot some interest to James Gordon Ben
nett as to whether the conclusion of the Ives
and Stayner deal with the Baltimore and
Ohio lands the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph company in Jay Goud'S net For
years the relations between Gould and Ben
nett have been very strained The origin of
the bad blood was Mr.. Bennett's conviction
that the Geographic news and specials to
the New York Herald We're tempered with
and held back by Mr.. Could, through his
control of the Western Union wires. 1t
is felt by tnanciers on Wall street that As
ISOLATED Press matter sent over the same
wires is frequently tempered with and be
comes Gould tinted. The Gould and Stock
company, which owned the tckerS giving
stock quotations, has been bought by the
Western Union. The Commercial Telegraph
company, therefore, found it an easy thing
to place its Instruments in offices. 1t can
he readily conceived how angry Mr.. Ben
nett was made by the consciousness that the
specials and telegraphic matter which he
paid so good price for were at the mercy
of Mr.. Gould. So he joined with Mr.. Mac
key i'll laying wires that he could rely on.
The public, or that portion of it which had
sustained this conviction as to Mr.. Gould :
methods was delighted with this new
scheme, which promised them security for
Geographic matter. This cause for dislike
and enmity toward Gould in Bennett has
not ceased as far us the dislike goes. 1t i:
certain that he would use all his influence
against Gould. and would be especially irri
tated by the latter getting control of tn,
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company
This is the only line which can compete n
all with the Western Union If Mr.. Goul
obtains the control of the line, Mr.. Bennett
would find himself again at the mercy of hi
old enemy. Bennett will certainly do all h
can To oppose Gould. He is the sort of hlal
who would rather lose all and fight thai
save half by concession.

THE POWNAL ACCIDENT.
Report of the Railroad Commissioners AS
to its Cause.

ST. JoHNsBURY, July 20.-The State
board of railroad commissioners in the
matter of the accident on the Troy divis
ion of the Fitchburg railroad at Pownal,
June T. last report, that the train, consist
ing of engine and tender, baggage car,
mail and express car, day coach,
smoking car, Pullman sleeper and two
day coaches, in the above mentioned or
der, bound west, pulled out of the station,
where it had made stop on the track
known as the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and
Western main line at $50 p. m. About GO
feet west of the passenger station is IA split
switch to cross from the main line to a
side parallel track and little way further
"a similar switch crossing to another
parallel track known as the Troy and
Boston track. The engine and four cars
passed safely as they should and the for
ward trucks of the sleeper followed all
right, but the rear trucks kept the main
Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western line
and the two rear coaches followed until
when about 100 feet beyond the first switch
the two rear cars tipped over. The train
was moving slowly, not over four miles an
hour, and had stopped as soon as the over
turned cars struck upon their sides.
These cars were filled with through pas
sengers ana Two, Mrs. ,. A. Wells ana
Mrs. c. NJ. Wetherbee of Springfield,
Mass, were injured so that they were
taken to a hospital at North Adams,
Mass, and some IA others were somewhat
bruised and shaken up, but continued
upon their journey the next day.
| 1t was the business of the night opera
tor, who went on duty that night at 1870
O'Clock, to attend to these switches and
about five minutes before the arrival of
this train at the station, he undertook to
change the switch. II this had been
properly done, no accident would have
happened. The Board is satisfied that he
turned the switch lever around farenough
so that the points of the switch were
close enough to the main rail to allow the
wheels of the engine and forward cars to
catch on and pass safely over, but that
the train or iarring caused the switch to
move resil'''s 'uth he urcldent. The night
